Aiming towards such decisive and absolute victory,

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The French thinker Marquis de Vauvenargues
(1715-47) wrote: 'Becoming familiar with others is
training for the spirit.' It is through our interactions
with others that we develop and forge our character. Human
relationships begin with the courage to initiate a
dialogue. For some, it means making a conscious effort to
break out of their shell, to overcome their tendency to
hide away and avoid other's company. Making efforts to
talk to and converse with others is the first step in
transforming oneself from a closed to an open individual."
